Thank you for the response - real canadian I sort of knew all these answers yet had to confirm them - I guess if one read the AC21 doc and the memo - which i did, one should come-up with the above answers. Wonder how these employers try scare tactics to see if you can be hired for less...

AC21 - layoff I read the AC 21 doc and the memo and none of it speaks about what happens in the case the employer has laid off the employee instead of the employee switching jobs... GURUS, pls respond. thx
